Texas shoppers can save during sales tax holiday

The state’s 13th annual sales tax holiday began today, allowing shoppers across Texas to save about $8 for every $100 on qualifying items in an effort to help parents afford necessary school supplies and clothes. The Texas Comptroller’s Office estimates shoppers will save $64.8 million in state and local sales tax during this year’s three-day, tax-free weekend.
